Mould clearing

This blog is starting to smell of growing mould, and I can even see disgusting saprophytes sprouting out from all over! Eww! As such, I am here to do something about the terrible state it is in. REVITALIZATION! JA saves the day (and the blog)!


Here's a pic from the Christian union ball held 2 Fridays ago at one of the POSHEST hotels in Liverpool. Despite the fact that all my close friends deserted me by not going, I had a fantastic evening! It was so refreshing to see my mates transform from their usually scruffy-looking selves into handsome men and gorgeous ladies... That evening, I let my hair down and hit the dance floor for the first time in 20 years. I've never danced so hard (in 3 inch heels) before! But it was truly an experience to remember. I'm quite certain my poor limb co-ordination was a cringe-worthy sight to behold, but I don't really care cos everyone was being silly too! lol.



And here's a tribute to the Professor who had made my last few weeks in hospital so memorable- The great Prof Neoptolemos. Well, I have to admit that in the days when I was still attached to his ward, he did give me and my group a VERY difficult time. We used to be SO SCARED! He doesn't mince his words, and some things that have been said were extremely demoralizing and painful to hear... but in retrospect, I think I've learnt the most from attending his ward rounds. He keeps me on my toes and forces me to go away to look things up. You can call me a sucker for punishment... cos I doubt anybody with a sane mind would think the same. But really, since the start of my new rotation with a 'nicer' consultant who doesn't even look at us in the eye, I have to admit that I do find days in hospital slightly more boring. Come to think of it, I wonder what he thought of us when we used to answer all his questions with 'I don't know,' 'erm...' or 'i think...' After all, here is the world's top pancreatic surgeon, and he has to deal with miniscule medical students who can't even get their anatomy right.



And I'd like to end with a picture of 78's 大帅哥. hahaha. Do you know he reads this blog??? Mr Zhang, don't forget that you promised to tag if I wrote something! This man is a hard person to catch online... he is way too illusive, so I was very happy when he messaged me online on Valentine's day! haha... we were chatting about when I was going home for the summer, and I suggested that he come to the airport with a huge banner and flowers... and then throw confetti and shout '欢迎欢迎,热烈欢迎' when I come through from the other side of the glass panels. Come to think of it, that would be quite a nice way of being welcomed back. KX... PLEASE?
Ok, I think I've really spent quite enough time typing this entry and it's about time that I went back to working on my PBL. Hope everyone's been well. Enjoy your holidays people. Even if you have to spend it in the labs culturing monsters. =) Gambatte.
